Divorce Causes: 23 Reasons Marriages End In Divorce, According To Divorced People

"Because too many people get married as if it's a requirement in life and not a choice."

Why do some marriages last a lifetime, while some end in divorce? For every pair of marriage lifers (think Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward), there's a couple like Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, barely making it through two months. Why, though? Are there some behaviors that are just universally destructive to a marriage?

On Wednesday, we asked our followers on Facebook and Twitter to share with us the reasons they think marriages end in divorce.

The responses ranged from a lack of sex, to a lack of positive interaction -- one reader even devised a formula: according to him, if there are less than five positive interactions for every one negative interaction, you're in trouble.
